Line-ups confirmed as Gray starts in defense for Spurs

Rangers will give former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou a rousing reception as his Tottenham look for a win at Ibrox.

Spurs are on a run of just one win in their last seven games and both sides enter this one on 10 points in the Europa League table.

Here’s how the teams stack up.

Hamza Igamane was the star for Rangers in their win in France last time out and he is at the helm again as captain James Tavernier returns to the starting XI.

Rangers have already scored 12 times in this Europa League campaign and will test that fragile Tottenham back line.

Tottenham team news

Spurs’ defensive concerns mean the versatile Archie Gray has to play at centre-back, while captain Son or Timo Werner will get a chance to play as a centre-forward.

Fraser Forster – another with Celtic links – is in goal again.
